Rain Man

This is my hubby. We met through a dating service. He was my 11th match. I was his 1st. I continued to date people after we met....he didn't. We don't really make sense "on paper", but we make perfect sense in real life!

D-man

D-Man

This is my first born. He is funny, smart, sarcastic and obsessed with baseball. He loves his baby sisters and they know it and can get him to do almost anything for them!

A-Girl

A-Girl is my oldest girl, my first C-Section and likes a lot of the same things I do. She is turning into a teenager in front of my nervous eyes. We bond watching So You Think You Can Dance, Project Runway and Design Star.

L-Girl

L-Girl is my second girl. She is a lot like her father. Full of energy and ideas. I can occassionally talk her into bonding over a dancing show, but she would rather be off running around doing other things.

A-Man

This little dude is not easily forgotten by anyone who meets him. He has lots and lots and lots of energy and lots and lots and lots of ideas of things to try and just see what happens. Usually the results get him and trouble and then Mom and Dad laugh behind closed doors.

S-Girl

This little peanut looks just like me when I was her age. She is A-Man's partner in crime. She has every male in our house wrapped around her cute little pinkie.

V-Girl

This is my baby. She has been walking since 9 months and has been a lot of fun and trouble ever since. She is a jolly baby who has all of us wrapped around her chubby little finger.

Alright! It worked. I still don't completely understand this whole thing. But, through various blogger friends, I tried multiple things to be able to use pictures in my posts again. The one that finally worked and I am still not done with is going to picasaweb.google.com and clicking on every single, solitary picture that has magically ended up at that site and reducing the size to 800x600. I have managed to resize about 100 pictures so far and have about 800 to go.

I know.

Seriously.

How do I have that many pictures on there???

So, here is a quick glimpse into our December, so far....then I have to go give the kids their final exams before Christmas break and resize 800 pictures....oh, and wrap gifts and find a time to squeeze in a celebration for D-mans 15th birthday, and clean the house from when I was gone for a week visiting my mom, and catch up on laundry, and watch some of the 23 Christmas movies my babies recorded for me while I was gone with my mom. You know, the usual.

L-girl got to go ice skating for the first time.

I know. In Georgia. Sad, isn't it?

Pros: It was really warm.

Cons: It was Georgia. The ice rink was miniscule (like the size of my living room). It cost $9.00. There were a lot of unsupervised teens/preteens. I am fairly certain I saw a 12 year old boy ask a 12 year old girl if she wanted to go smoke a joint while the ice was getting refreshed. Where are your parents people?!?!?

Since the ice skating cost $9.00 a person. The rest of us just watched L-girl go round and round on the living room rink. We found ways to entertain ourselves though. Right behind the rink is a cute little town that was having its Christmas festival or something, so we wandered the shops while L-girl and her softball team skated. This railing is, by the way, 2 stories up over a brick pathway, and is the same railing that A-man almost tumbled over because he bet a friend that he could reach out and touch the branches. I pulled him down by the belt loops (since the top 3/4 of his body was dangling over the railing) and he had to watch the girls skate glued to my side the rest of the night.

This is how our van gets cleaned out. D-man got the short straw this time around. He didn't even waste his time getting grocery bags, or even household garbage bags....he just went for the big guns and started tossing!

We had a facial fiasco, a Christmas parade, a trip to Santa and a few other things that I will share after I reduce a few more photos...and take a nap.
